Openbox menu with icons. (4.25 KB, image/png)

Description Magnus Sandén 2007-08-29 10:45:29 EDT 
I'd like to see support for icons in openbox menus. So in my applications menu I could have a firefox icon in the menu item that starts firefox.

To configure what icon is shown an entry like this could be used in menu.xml:

<item label="Xterm">
  <icon>/usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/apps/utilities-terminal.svg</icon>
  <action name="Execute"><execute>uxterm</execute></action>
</item>

or perhaps the icon can be automagically found somehow?

Since there already are icons in the client-menu, client-list-combined-menu and so on, I'm guessing that this would not be very difficult to add.

An openbox menu with icons I threw together in gimp.

The difficulty comes in loading the image files.  There are many formats and etc.  This is in the back of my mind for the future, but not for the 3.4 series.
